"Women" by Page Railsback


(Work In progress)"Splash Dance" 16x20 Acrylic by Kelley MacDonald
Women need other women, it's always been true... littles, bigs, mamas, grannies....  - to teach each other to be strong women.  I have ZERO excuses to not have finished this month, except I kept going back and forth between 4 different ways of expressing this.  So... as soon I finish, I'll upload it.  Till then.... SPLASH

“ I found this photo going through family memorabilia in Maine.  Hard to imagine the constrictions of this period in female fashion...”

"Vote" 5.5"X6.75" watercolor by Margaret Farrell Bruno
Carrie Chapman Catt was a leading woman in the suffragist movement. 
We have she, and many other women, to thank for securing American women's right to vote. 
Let's do her memory honor and vote this November 3rd by mail or in person. 


"Strong Women" by Pamela Copeman
Strong women come in many different sizes, shapes, and colors. These powerful, strong, and spiritual women have had a direct impact on my life in very inspiring and personal ways - if you look closely, you may recognize some of these women - I adore my circle of female friends - I am blessed."

The dairy herd at Two Islands in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia, one of my favorite places in the world.  Cape Blomidon is in the distance. 

"Garden Painters" 8 x 10 oil by Jody Regan - It's always nice to paint with women friends. In these days of isolation, the company of women is even more essential.
